Cinema: Three-in-One Thriller

Backfire. The star of this sleek French melodrama is a Triumph sports
convertible. Shipped from Barcelona to Beirut, the car gets past
customs but has difficulty getting out of town. Sluggish performance.
"I can scarcely shift into high," complains the man at the wheel. The
svelte blonde smuggler at his side smiles and tells him why. The
Triumph has a $300,000 paint job. Under a surface coat of white, its
body is gilded with 300 kilos of solid gold.

Sounds familiar? Blonde, bullion, gilded body. Of course, the criminal
Midas who sent the Triumph in for refinishing is Gert Frobe of
Goldfinger....
